Yes, some smaller speakers will need a higher crossover point like that. In that case, I will run a "sub" under each speaker (except not for computer desktops of course). This way you get more of a pseudo-3-way than a sub/sat system. This is especially true if the sub lowpass filter is 2nd order. 2nd order + 90hz = too much sub localization for me.
I think this end of the spectrum is where many 'philes get "hard to integrate subs properly" from.
Myself, I love working with subs. Way more flexible than having you "sub" reproducing drivers stuck in the main speaker. Sub frequencies don't need to "blend" into the soundstage - they're naturally omnidirectional and if you're crossing over low enough and steep enough the sub-bass will blend into the sounstage with nary a problem.
Cheers,
Presto
